What can they expect if they come to belly it up live belly up live, you're going to sit down and there's

going to be a screen there. There's going to be a screen behind the stage. It's going to have a Q R code on it. With that QR code, you are going to be able to submit your questions, your buy, sell and trade, your weird things, whatever it is. We'll probably put a prompt above the QR code asking for something specific. It's your opportunity. Well, yes. So basically you get into the venue, get into Zay's, you're going to get yourself a drink. Yeah. And then you're going to scan the QR code. You're going to submit your topic and Charlie and I aren't just going to be messing around the green room. No, we're going to be pouring over your topics. We're just going to be, yeah, we are going to get

dialed in. We're going to get dialed in. We're going to pour over your topics. We're going to pick the ones that we think are the best. So you got to bring some heat to bring that heat. And once the show starts, at some point we'll have the people that submitted the topics that we liked the best come up on stage and discuss it with us. Just like we are doing belly it up right here today. Well, put simpler, you're going to come up on stage and belly up to the bar with us. Correct. Yes. Yeah. And we're going to, whether or not it's a real bar or it's a table, our budget is limited. We haven't worked that out yet, but well, we haven't worked out the kinks, but it's going to be fun guys. It's going

to be a great time. And also if you have something you want to buy, sell or trade, bring it in, make sure it's not firearm. They don't allow those. They don't. They do not. Yeah. No. And also make it small. Yeah. Like don't bring a kayak. Yeah. You can bring a grenade that's been emptied out though. Okay. Yeah. They sell them at the army repo stores, but make it small. You know, don't be bringing in a lawnmower. Yeah. It's a tight club, tight club. It actually used to be a strip joint. Yeah. It's a very long thin club. Ooh, food arrived. Wow. That looks really good. Thank you. Thank you. I don't think so. That's wonderful. Thank you. I really appreciate you. We're going to eat that after the intro. I'm going to steal some of your

fries too. My, I know I got a salad. So I still miles fries, but I think it's gonna be fun. This will be my first live show. Yeah. But you've been on stage before my stage, but still first live show, you know, you nervous, not really a little bit. I'm not too nervous about it a little bit more excited. Okay. Yeah. Excited nerves. Yep. Nervousness just, I forgot. I left my wings in your fridge. Damn it. I'm nervous. And this oftentimes is just covering up for excitement. Yeah. It's nervous facing excitement. It happens. Yeah. It happens to all of us. I think it's going to be fun though. Give me a great time. We'll have some other comedians there as well. Just to warm you guys up, get you acquainted. We're going to have some fun. It's going to

be a great time. Make sure you get to tailgate beforehand. Yeah. Some beers gone. You know? Yeah, exactly. She'll be out like probably seven o'clock, something like that. Yeah. Yeah. We haven't fully figured it out yet, but it's going to happen. It's going to be fun. Can't wait to see you guys in Chicago, July 8th for the first ever bellied up. Fudge it. We'll do it live. Fudge it. We'll do it live. Frick it. Frick it. We'll do it live. Frick it. We're doing it live. Yeah. We'll do it live. Um, Ted Zanies, right? Zanies. Yeah. You said just, yeah. Chicago Zanies. Um, so be, well, we'll probably put the link in the description of the episode. So by ticket, you click on the link. Pretty self-explanatory. Keeping the ticket price is pretty reasonable too.

They may go hot too. So yeah, be quick. Yeah. They may go quick cause it's a hot tick. Nice. Yeah. That's what's nice. Well, I think we got a good show lined up today. Charlie will take some callers and excited. I'm excited to build up live. Me too. How many is a couple of years in the making? Oh, we've been talking about this. We've been chit chatting about this miles. Yeah. For two years. And finally our, our laziness took the next step, which was tech somebody. This is kind of my mo. It took me like five years to propose to Ann, you know? So, uh, actually when I say that, that doesn't sound better. You know, it only took me two years to commit to this. Five years to commit to my wife. Well, this

isn't a lifetime commitment miles. This is a one night commitment. It's true. This is a one night stand. Oh, all right. One night stand. We're going to work on the chemistry though. Before we get on stage. Yeah, we got some work to do. You and I know we'll have to do a little zip zap zoom. Sweet. All right. Well, we'll see you guys there. And now it's time to take some callers. Hello. Nice for you to call back. Let me guess, Miles is still perfect, and Charlie needs to talk to someone like you about his relationship issues.

Oh my gosh. Haven't forgotten, Paige. Yeah, you feel bad. Let me tell you, Paige. I feel great. Shut up miles. What's on your mind? Yeah. Well, so for the folks that don't know, we got page online, the resident therapists, this is a bellied updates. The last time that page was on, she told me that there is nothing emotionally wrong with me. And she said that Charlie might as well just not even try cause he's too far gone emotionally. Pretty much. That's what

I remember. That's definitely not what I said, but you know what, whatever, however you like to take it, I can't change that for you. Let's rewind the tape. Playing it right now. How else do we take that, Paige? Well, it sounds like your relationship's going very well. You like cats now. I do like cats now, yeah. I am so in love with this girl that I actually like cats. Not happy about it, but girl that I actually like cats.

Not happy about it, but you know, I like them. I mean, I like all of them. So Paige, tell me what it means that Charlie's willing to just change his entire stance on life for a woman. You know what, if it's the right one, I think it's okay. Cause he seems happy about it. And if that's the only sacrifice, which I will have to say, she's probably making a lot more sacrifices than he is. Considering my work.

Considering my line of work? What do you mean by that, Paige? You've probably gone a lot. You are gone a lot. Gone a lot? Yeah, you're on the road. You probably missed your view. Yeah. You know what? Yeah, you're on the road. He probably missed you. Yeah. You know what? If you got to like cats, I mean, that's a worthy sacrifice considering what she's dealing with.

I suppose. That's not unfair. She's a busy gal too, though. You know, so we're both busy. Good. Yeah, but she has her cats to keep her company. All four of them. All four. Are they all sphinxes? Two are sphinxes. Two of them got Brazilians. And one is a Lykoi, which I don't even know what that is. It's like a little werewolf thing. I think it's they breed them next to nuclear power plants. And then the other one is a street crap street cat from East Columbus that her dad found in the alley.

And those are the best. Yeah. Are they? Yeah. Yeah. So they all have their own personalities. They're not bad. They're not bad. They've grown on me. Well, considering child Charlie needs a lot of work, why don't we open it up and let's start Charlie's therapy session?

No, that's not what this is. Page. Is that why you're calling in to do therapy on us? Don't you have an update about page? And I have been texting and we're worried about. Oh no. I'm being, I'm being bamboozled here. This is not an intervention. Yeah, it's not an intervention, but we'd like to change your behavior. So what behavior do I have to change? Just kidding. I am late. That's a question for page, you know, what's a let's dive into Charlie's. All right's page. Let's say I'm your, I'm your patient right now. What questions do we have? Oh my gosh. Well, I will say I only treat anxiety and OCD. So if you've got one of those, I can help. I got a D D. Does that count? 80 days. Not a thing anymore. Charlie ADHD. Yes. Why isn't 80 D a thing? It's just all ADHD. Now it's all the same. Okay. Same, same church, different

pew, same bar, different chair. Okay. Yeah. Little known fact. Yeah. All right. Well, anxiety. Okay. Maybe I got that, you know, yeah. You probably do. You're a comedian. So yeah, we all kind of pretty anxious. Yeah. You know, I don't know why just happened sometimes. Just got this overall feeling that, you know, some bads gonna happen. So I'm looking out you know robots page. Is that true? Are you lying? Are you serious? Because they can actually help. I think robots are gonna kill us all. He is very paranoid about AI which I get in a sense but it's going into territory where I think it is affecting your life sometimes. It was, but I think I'm over it. Cause I've read The Power of Now by Elkhart Toley that Myles told me to read.

Elkhart Toley. And so I just live in the moment now, Paige. It's just you and me here. That's all there is. Something might come after. Something might've come before. It doesn't matter. I'm right here with you, Paige.

How are you feeling today? You're literally, you're doing it. I'm feeling good. I just have therapy sessions all day and you know what? It's a good day. And I'm so proud of you because you're literally doing what I teach people in therapy. The power of now you're a big totally head. Oh, I can't do it.

Oh yeah. Rhonda. Oh, what did she say? What'd you say? Rhonda, she's a spiritual teacher and, what? What did she say? What'd you say? Ron? Doc. He's a spiritual teacher and Alan watt. Oh, have you ever heard of him? I've heard of Alan Watts before. Amazing. I've heard of JJ watt. Yeah. He's his brother. Oh, okay. Yeah. He's like the Jonas brother. That's not musical. He's just like the, the watt brother that can't play football. Yeah. Does he play football? He's like the Jonas brother. That's not musical. He's just like the, the watt brother that can't play football. Yeah. Okay.

Page, I got a question for you. What's, um, what's the most annoying thing a patient does? Like what's your, what's your top three pet peeves of a patient? Yeah. Oh, I think, well, What's your top three pet peeves of a patient? Really? Yeah. Oh, I think, well, obviously canceling right before an appointment is pretty annoying, but you know that happens. Done that. Done that.

You still get paid though, right? Yeah, you still get paid, right? No, I don't. Oh, you got it, Paige. Now let's talk about you. Let's give her some advice here. Let's talk about you and your people pleasing skills. All right.

You got to set your boundaries. Okay. If you cancel within 24 hours, you're paying, you know? I just feels mean as a therapist, but I know a lot of therapists do that. Yeah. I'm such a people pleaser that if I cancel anywhere near the 24 hours, I'm like, just keep the fee. Just keep it. It's fine. Yeah. I know. I know. But I think the biggest pet peeve I have is when someone comes to see me for

therapy and I ask them why they're coming to therapy and they say, I don't know. Yeah. And I'm like, Oh, well, because their wife made them. I get that a lot. Yeah. But there's something deeper. If I pry enough, I can figure it out. But at the outset, if I'm very tired that day and someone says that to me, I'm like, God, do you do? So you're saying that therapists get hung over as well. We do. We are also human beings that don't like to go to work most of the time, but we love our job. You know, it doesn't make me feel great though. Like, you know, if you're going to therapy,

you're like knowing that your therapist doesn't even want to be there. It's like a terrible feeling. I mean, you just mailing it in while you're trying. You're like, you're having an existential crisis and she's just like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You sure, sure, sure. I have to, I have to get on this podcast with these guys. So get out of here right now. It's that's one. Well, how does that make you feel? Question. Just, just, just, just hits the Y button on the keyboard. Just why, why? Yeah. Why do you think that Socratic method? No, I think therapists, you know, we have to be really real with our clients. And if I'm having a bad day, I'll just say it straight up.

Like I might be off today and kind of having a rough one and then we can talk about that. Because probably it's in the air. They're having a bad day too. Yeah. Yeah. So sometimes you open yourself up. Do you ever find that you get a patient that client, whatever the PC word is, do you ever find you get one that starts giving you therapy?

And you kind of- Oh no. We call that counter-transence and that's no bueno. Oh, counter transference. Yeah. Why, why, why, why specifically is it no bueno, which is no good if you don't speak Spanish? Thank you, Miles. Thank you for the translation. Yeah. It's not good because, you know, it's unethical to be seeing a client if they're doing more for you than you are for them. And that is every client's triggering you in that way.

You need to refer them to someone else. Otherwise you turn into a Tony Soprano situation as well. You're saying, have you ever had any gangsters as clients? Not knowingly. Okay. Oh't not knowingly. Okay. Not knowingly. Okay. Let me say it differently. Do you, do you have any clients that were in trucking and they were constantly taking trips to the Cayman islands? You know, very specific miles. I don't think so. Where is Jimmy Hoffa buried? Where are the bodies page? We got to know where the drug going. Where do you practice again? Page? What's what state? I forget. Oh, Iowa. A lot of farmers. I have a question for you, page. You know, there's a lot of hoopla on the internet about how basically everyone's problems in life stem back to something with

their parents. Do you, is that actually true or is that just like the get out of jail free card for therapists to just throw it on the parents? Well, no, I'm, I think our past have a lot to do with how we act and navigate the world, but I think in my own therapy, working with anxiety and OCD, I don't tend to dwell on that very much because I want to help them here and now. And if we need to dwell up the past and talk about it, fine. But I'm usually not one to go there. If I'm trying to go to if I'm trying to go to sleep page and I'm like, I get in bed, I'm ready to go.

I'm like, ah, I should check the front door, see if that's locked. So I go do that and I get back in bed. Ah, I should pee one more time. You know, I get back and bad. I'm like, ah, forgot my nose strip. You know, I get back and bad. I'm like, ah, forgot my mouth strip. Now I get back and bad. I'm like, ah, forgot to take my Lutonin. Is that OCD? Well, the question would be is how much distress would it cause if you were kept from going to get the thing you want?

Well, see, if I didn't check the door, I'd be sitting there thinking for five minutes, should I check the door? And then I start falling asleep. I'm like, no. And then I'm going to be woken up in like 10 minutes because I'm like, I got to check the door. Should I just save time cut to the chase? Go check the door.

You got to check the door more than once. I mean, you have probably second the door. No. I mean, if I remember sometimes I go check the door and I don't remember if I was locked or not. Well, if you were checking the door, it's like the five times. Okay. Okay. But it's kind of like when you're boarding a plane and you have to check your boarding pass for what seat you are in 20 times. Okay. Okay. But it's kind of like when you're boarding a plane and you have to check your boarding pass for what seat you are in 20 times. It's the same scenario. I wonder how much of that is OCD and just how bad our memories are, you know, between

things like the phone THC. What? I'm going to give you a little master class on the difference. Yeah. Yeah. that'd be great. So there's generalized anxiety or like nervousness, right? And with generalized anxiety, the worries make sense. Like we're worrying about normal everyday things like our boarding pass or if how many people are gonna be at an event or where's the parking situation. Right, we're worried about normal things,

but the anxiety is over the top of what's helpful. What's an example of over the top? Over the top would be, maybe it would keep you from actually going out of your house and going to social events, cause you're so anxious. Yeah, I see. That only happens to me if I get like, if I eat

a gummy bear and it's too good. Yeah. Well that's doing drugs. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Sounded a little judgmental. That's judgmental. I like to eat a lot of food. I like to eat a lot of food. I like to eat a lot of food. I like to eat a lot of food. I like to eat a lot of food. I like to eat a lot of food. I like to eat a lot of food. I like to eat a lot of food.

I like to eat a lot of food. I like to eat a lot of food. I like to eat a lot of food. I like to eat a lot of food. I like to eat a lot of food. I like to eat a lot of food. I like to eat a lot of food. I like to eat a lot of food.

I like to eat a lot of food. I like to eat a lot of food. I like to eat a lot of food. I like to eat a lot of food. I like to eat a lot of food. I like to eat a lot of food. I like to eat a lot of food. I like to eat a lot of food. I like to eat a lot of food. I like to eat a lot of food. those back. Well, what does that say about you, Paige? Huh? Let's dive into that. Yeah. Why? I work some muscle at the end of the day. It makes my tummy all nice and warm.

It does, doesn't it? That nice little cool minty-ness. It tastes like you brushed your teeth. Yeah. And you brushed your... Let me keep going on a different... Sorry. Sorry. Sorry, Paige. Yes. Focus. I'll keep this on track. So that's generalized anxiety, right? It's worrying about normal everyday stuff, but it's over the top.

But then OCD goes into this cycle of anxiety of we have an intrusive thought or image that pops in of worrying about something. Let's say there's different themes, but a very common one is like harm, like worrying you hit someone with your car or worrying you might not check the lock enough and someone could intrude into your house or kill your dog or something.

And then the anxiety goes up because that thought popped in and then we have a behavior or a compulsion in OTD that we do in order to lower the anxiety goes up because that thought popped in. And then we have a behavior or a compulsion in OCD that we do to, in order to lower the anxiety. So that would be to drive around the block to check that you didn't hit someone with your car or checking the lock again. And then anxiety goes down, but then we're in that cycle. And we just keep doing the same thing over and over again. And that's OCD. Okay. So it needs, it needs. I don't think you got either. I think you just have

ADHD. Thank you. Well, my diagnosis. Yeah. All right, page. I, we're going to a new segment that I like to call a couples counseling with page Charlie and I are a couple. We've been together for six years, six years together. Things have been going good. But I feel like Charlie's withholding a little bit from our relationship and that is why we are in therapy today. So we'd love to dive into it. Great. Well, what do you think he's withholding? What's the content? Um, just overall energy. Um, you know, I have to plan everything and you have to plan everything. Who played our belly. Is this a safe space? Can I talk or are you starting to see some of the things that I'm dealing with? I'll take turns here. Yes. Thank you. I'll go now. Is that okay? Okay. Fine. Yeah. I mean, it's the planning thing. He never remembers when I plan stuff. And then when we're at

an activity, it always seems like he's got somewhere else to be. And, uh, like we shot a video on a bike the other day and he just wrote off for about seven minutes and we didn't know where he went and we knew he'd come back, but he didn't do that. And so that's kind of some of the stuff that I've been feeling lately. That's kind of some of the stuff that I've been feeling lately. So you're feeling the weight of the mental load of the relationship, but you're not really feeling his presence there with you. Correct. I'd like him to just I'd like him to see me and not see everything else.

That's why he's wearing a blaze orange hat. That's why he's wearing a blaze orange hat. How does it make me feel? Page, frankly, I think miles forgets every time I am somewhere on time, which is amazing. He forgets it because it doesn't happen very often. It's not a lot to remember. Okay. And I do think sometimes what he has to realize is that my brain is like a dog. Okay. Sometimes you get the dog barking, you know, you get

the hounds out and what do you got to do? You got to take them for a walk. I got to take my brain outside, let piss on a mailbox and then I come back and I'm ready to go. But Miles just doesn't have a whole lot of patience for my genius. So what I'm hearing is, is that we need to work together to better understand what each other's needs are so we can come together and don't say needs like that. Trust me. Those needs are taken care of. Right, Charlie? Yeah. He was wearing biker shorts yesterday. My God. Did my cab. So I had my moose knuckle in his face. I mean, we're talking, he's got a decent moose knuckle on him. He's got a nice, this is, this is funnier after you see the sketch. Yeah, it is. It really is. Right now it's just sound like we're talking. I just, this is the part of the problem. He, I complimented his moose and

I'll go. He didn't say anything about my truck nuts. And that's just irritating to me. You're just really not feeling seen at all. I know. I know important in every way, including witnessing your partner. Yeah. Well, maybe if your truck nuts were bigger, I could, you know, that is not my fault. That's my parents' fault. See, everything stems back to our parents. It's the French in you. No, it doesn't. So is there anything that we can do to just, you know, be deeper together? That's a great way to put that. It sounds like miles needs to love himself more. See, that's what I'm talking about. She had that teed up firing it. Last time we talked, I'm in perfect.

She felt bad. Page said I was you. You went. We find mentally. She said that I need to love myself. And she felt bad. You did your whole little temper tantrum. And now she's just doing it to make you feel.

Miles, I'm on the incline. You're on the decline. Deal with it, buddy. We're on opposite ends of the Venn diagram or whatever. What's the one with the cross? You know what? I'm starting to, the more page talks, more. She's starting to make sense. Maybe we're just not right for each other. Oh, maybe we're not. Well, you know what? Jake can get in here and be your co-host. That's fine. Let's see what happens when I leave the equation. You, you're never going to get a podcast done.

Well, I'll find, I'll find another, you know, find another one of you miles. Why don't we just call it Charlie? This is the end of the road page. No page broke up the bellied up pod. You think I can't find another bearded guy with a blaze orange hat and a car heart hoodie in the Midwest. Yeah. He said that that says he's stone right now. Just go chase down the next pickup truck that drives by. Don't go thinking you're irreplaceable. Oh my God. Yeah. This is Paige's fault if we break up. So wow. You guys really are going to do this to me right now. It's been a long day. At the beginning of this call, I said, I treat anxiety and OCD, not couples. Just passes the buck. Okay. Well, how's life going for you right now outside of work? You

know, what's good. Oh, I got my necklace. Thank you guys. Oh, you're welcome. I got my, my para dot my green necklace for our anniversary. It was a month late on our anniversary, not on my birthday, but you know what? I'd take what I can get. A necklace is a necklace, you know? Yeah, absolutely. Still look pretty. Yes, he picked it out himself. I should say I did not have to pick it out. Nice.

So he didn't really get me a listen to your guys' advice. That's good. That's good. Did he, did he listen? Was that the situation? He did listen. He listened. He really appreciated you guys talking directly to him. I think it got, it got the point across. That's good. That's what we're here for. And are you wearing the necklace right

now? I am. Okay. I never took off. Wow. That is awesome. And your skin is not changing color at all. It's real silver. I would like to report. Stainless steel, baby. Or sterling. Sterling. Is that silver? Stainless silver. Yeah. Whatever. Oh, well, we're happy to talk to you again, page. We appreciate it. How glad you helped us work through this. You know, I didn't think this is going to be the last episode, but I guess it is. Thank you for highlighting the therapy skills. I don't have the holes in her game. I love my fellow couples therapist, but I am not one of them.

Well, just to page, you should get into that game. Just imagine the T you could spell to your husband at dinner, you know, that's unethical Charlie. Is it your husband? He's unethical, Charlie. Is it? Your husband, he's not going to tell anyone. You're holding a client's team? Yeah, but... What kind of people do you think I am? Well, I'm just saying you're not using exact names.

You're just saying, okay, I can't say his name, but he lives down the street. Oh, my God. I can't say his name, but he's bald. He's bald and you golf with him every Tuesday night. I can't say his name, but he's bald. He's bald and you golf with them every Tuesday night. I can't say his name. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, well, thank you guys. Well, thank you, Paige. Hey, we're glad that you got that necklace and I'm glad that you took it easy on me today.

Of course. I'm glad you could given me for my transgressions of being honest. I don't know. She just said, she said, I'm glad you forgiven me. I heard what she said. I didn't. That was a backhanded. Thank you. Is what it was. Wow. All right. Therapists speak. Yeah, that was real. That was a real low blow right at the end here, page. I thought we were in a good way and turns out right back where we started. It's all, it's all perspective.

Yeah. Well, I I'll show you my perspective here. And that's that you really screwed the pooch on that last comment. Oh no, I'm not. I only do that to miles. Hey, there miles. All right. Well page, you take care now. All right. Of course. Until next time. Yes. Thank you for the bellied update call back anytime. We'll, we'll give you a call next time. Charlie and I have a real riff that we need to work out. How about that? Perfect. It's not my specialty, but I'll try. That's all we call back next time. One of us develops OCD or generalized anxiety. I'm working on it every day. I'm getting closer and closer existential crisis coming right up. Yep. Yep. The old EC ED and EC. All right. You take

it. You're the one with the miles. I'm the one with the EC. Thank you for that. Yeah, I'm the one with the kids. I don't know how you got to work once. I was joking, Charlie. I don't think you you got to work once. I was joking, Charlie. I don't think you were miles. No, I was. All right. It's like, you know, an old married couple in the Midwest. They just have done things.

They've changed their life in ways to account for their partner's downfalls. Yeah, You've done that with me and I've done that with you. We shim it, you know, go back and fix the line. I'm going to tell you, we're not going to tear out the doorway. We're just going to do some shams in the door jam to make sure it's good. Yeah. We're not going to go back and replaying the floorboards. Oh, God. No. Just do it. Just do a hands sander and a few spots, and you're good to go. Rock and roll. Yeah, the door's sticking.

So you just like just sand a spot for where the door curves on the floor. I've done some shit like that. Yeah. Yeah. That's all life is. Just pop out the hinges and move them up a scotch, you know? Well, and then you're screwed at the top. but I don't matter. Yeah get out the saw nothing a little saws

I can't fix miles So we take another color. Let's do it guys Yeah, boatin season boats are out on the water and Charlie You know just as many as the rest of us that the boat landing can be a bit of a nightmare. I do know just as many as the rest of us all. It can be a nightmare. Sure as you can, you know, you get up there at the boat landing and you get the new guy who just got the boat, you know, just trying to whistle it back, just trying to whistle back, trying to, you know, get it, get it in there quick, you know, cause he's got the family standing on the dog.

And then the people are lined up waiting for him. A lot of pressure, all that. And sometimes you find that when you try to back it in, you end up hitting the gas pedal and the still in drive and you hit the car right in front of you. And before you know it, you know, there's dogs barking, there's people whistling, babies crying and you're in a real pickle. Well, you get out there and you find yourself injured, you know, then there's only one person you got to call in that situation.

It's not your mom, it's not your dad. It's not your neighbor who knows to back out a boat. No, it's Russell Nicolay because he will not only take care of you in that injured prone situation, he will also tell you how to back up your boat properly. He does both. You call one eight five five Nicolay. Russell will answer himself beard and everything, and he'll tell you how to back out that boat prim and proper. And he'll tell you how to get all that money from those insurance companies.

Prim and prop or they'll tell you how to get all that money from those insurance companies. Prim and prop-er. Nicolet Law, ladies and gentlemen. Injured, get Nicolet. Joe, how are you? It's me, Charlie. I'm here with my buddy, Miles. And we are aware that you work over there at the Jiffy Lube, but you're having an existential lube crisis.

And we'd like to hear about it at a Jiffy. Yeah, nice point on words there. Appreciate that. Definitely heart with you and thanks for having me on first off. But uh, no, jiffy lube, it's weird. It's different. I thought I was signing up for a pit and uh... Hang on, just let me jump in there real quick for you. Are you on speaker phone? Uh, let me, uh, let me solve your problem. Oh, that's so much better. What a beautiful voice you have there, Joe. I'm sorry.

This is my frigging Bluetooth, man. It's it's a damn, damn doozy sometimes. We can hear your accent now. You're from down south. Oh, I was born there, but, uh, no, I, uh, I live up in, uh, old, uh, old, uh, old, uh, damn, damn doozy sometimes. We can hear your accent now. You're from down south, huh? Oh, I was born there, but no, I live up in Oregon now. I moved. What?

What? What? Did you move? Good to know you didn't teleport there. Yeah. Yeah. You know, I'll get there some way. You know. Okay. All right. All right. Well, Jiffy Lube Joe, what's going on? What do you, what did you call in today? Well, I just figured I try my shot at getting on at least, but I know Jiffy Lube is a different world man. It's crazy. You got a lot of people's problems that you don't want to deal with,

but you're there for a paycheck sometimes and you got to deal with them. Just the other day I had a customer come in cause their car wasn't starting and I just didn't, didn't do the research. Like, you know, you University of YouTube teaches us and just, you know, didn't look into the problems. And it was just a simple fix. Had to twist some wires together and she was out the door and I almost felt bad for charging the lady. Wow. What? It's good to know that you mechanics and Jiffy lube employees do feel something when you gouge the customers, you know, at least you

guys feel it. I know you're not going to do anything about it. You're still going to gouge them, but it's good to know that you're feeling it. That's, that's really helpful. Well, actually you, you talk about this problem. What was the problem that you just had to twist some wires together? Because that kind of sounds like hot wiring a car. Well, yes and no. I solved the problem, obviously, responsibly by buying the right part. But the inertia switch went out and the previous owner or someone, I don't know, must have spliced the wires together before or something. Cause there was no inertia switch and that's a fuel shut off issue. So I will

be told, I don't know how they drove it in. How much did you charge him for that little rewiring? Oh God, it was, you see, it was there for a while. So we had to do a dyad, you know, throw it up on the lifts and start charging hours on that. And once it wasn't, you know, under the car, we would drop it and start moving in the car. That's probably another hour or so. Ah, no, probably. And then, then the upcharge on the part, you know, we can't, we can't hand out free parts. So I should probably have to leave it in. Oh, probably

good. Good hefty four or five, $600 bill. Wow. Wow. I got a question. We just got a masterclass on how to, how to jack up the bill as a mechanic. And what I got out of that was slow car lift. The slower the car left, the more time it takes. Yeah, no, a hundred percent older, the slower, you know, you don't, I mean, we got all brand new stuff. I don't mean to toot my own horn over here, but well, yeah. When you're charging 600 bucks for something like that, you better have all brand new stuff. You gotta do some though. You gotta do some to offset the taxes. Yeah. Yeah. That's just bad. And I at that, you know, but no, are you on some of Oregon's finest edibles right now Joe

Yeah, yeah the edibles get me a little too far so I partake in the More medicinal oils, I guess you can say okay. Okay Well, it's regal. It's a first day. It's green. You know, it's all good. Yeah, no judgment here It's green. You know, it's all good. Yeah. No judgment here. Um, that's the joke and Joe strand that he's on. Hey, oh, heck yeah. What's the weirdest thing you've ever seen come through that? Giffy. Oh man. Well, yeah, this kid, I'll be honest. He was a kid. He, he got his exhaust done. I don't like the start of that story. Got to be honest. He was a kid. I don't love the sounds like

you're going to jail for like 50 years. It's a phrase. He was an 18 year old man. Oh, jeez. And he came in with this ricy spicy exhaust on his little 2012 Acura, trying to sound like the little sleep drag racers that go here to 62 slow. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. All that dumb stuff. Yeah. Got one of those guys in my neighborhood. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, we all have every time it happens. Someone throws in the, the neighbor ring doorbell app. Did anyone hear gunshots, gunshots or bad muffler? The local Facebook group just starts going off on your block. You know? Yeah. No, no. All right. So a minor walks into Jiffy Lube. Yeah, sure. Let's leave it at that. Anyways, uh, comes in, has an exhaust problem. Uh, his car is running like this. Can I, can I kind of swear on here? I don't know. I just

running like dog shit. Let's just be honest. And he failed to inform us that he just got the exhaust done right before he showed up. And so we're trying to die ag it's saying they're like a vacuum leak or something so we're looking all into it. And the shop before him, oh did the exhaust fail to hook up the O2 sensor properly? And doesn't sound like a lot but those are pretty vile to you know how the fuel and air ratio goes into the engine and how much is coming out. And so basically it was under fueling it over fueling it at the wrong times. And the kid had to go get his exhaust back and left kind of sad. I would just take in there. Be like a dead Fox in there. Oh yeah. I forgot. We asked him for a crazy story. I was like, I

thought we were listening to a normal story. Crazy to me that the kid fucking, you know, didn't see all that, but not crazy stuff. Yeah. I've seen some dead animals and powers not here at Jiffy Lube, but previous mechanically inquired jobs I've been on. I've seen some pretty hairy stuff, stuff I didn't really care to see. I found dead cat once above a Cadillac converter. We'll play on words there too, but no, it was, she was burnt. She was toasting.

I'll be honest. Yeah. Yeah. Well, yeah, they got nine wives, but I think it took all eight. Something like that. So what, um, what's your problem working at Jiffy Lube? All right. So I'm a shorter fellow. I'm a, uh, what they call a little person. Hate that thing, but you know, I'm a little person. Some of these, I mean, yeah, I fit in great places, man. All right. Yeah. Nope. Crawl right under a car. Don't need a lift half the time. But other times, man, I don't got the reach that most people do.

And so I'm trying to unscrew a bolt that's on the back of the engine bay, man. And I am diving. I'm cave diving for that thing. And my coworker comes up and reaches over the fender well as I'm halfway on the radiator and reaches over that fender well and pops right out. It's just crazy to me. It's not fair. Oh, it never is. Never fair. It never is. Man. Short end of the stick right here, man. How tall are you? Ah, four foot seven coming in at a four foot side. That's

tall for midgets or little people or whatever you guys call them. Whatever we call them. I don't think, I think you call them whatever you want. No, I, I, I call them midgets doors. I think the word little person is quite degrading. Honestly. Yeah. So in the little person world, he just said he thought was degrading. Okay. Well, what do you want me to get? What do you want me to say it? Just say the hard M word dude. Midget world, dude. Heck yeah. So in the midge, you can't believe you said that, dude. He just told me to say it for all we know. He's six, eight. He told me to say this in the midget world. You're tall. You're saying, so do you have, do you have like a subculture where

like, you know, people that are taller, like Charlie and I with there's us, we, you know, we're what? Six two, six four, you know, lucky sons of guns where we have short Kings, right? So is there short Kings in the mid-year world? No, they're just really short. Really short. So what? Yeah. Like once you get, what's the height where you're like, wow, you are even short for us, you know? Oh, like four foot, like four foot and below. It's like, Oh, I'm sorry. You got the best

Okay, okay That is interesting. What's what's the dating scene like? Oh Ross um I guess I don't know I got a taste so like you know I like I like them shorter, but I don't mind them tall and fine. You know what I mean It's like a glass of wine just goes down the same He likes him tall like four eight, you know Five two, come on now. Okay. Yeah. She's got to be at least like able to get shit out of the freezer for me What's the tallest gal you've dated? Uh, six, three. Nice dude. Yeah. How'd that

work out? That was a lot of work. A lot of work. Why? Just cause it does a lot of up and down on the step stool or what? Yeah. You pull, pull back, you know, every time she had to lean in for a smooch, it would sound like a bag of rice Krispy's going and milk. Wait, help me explain that analogy right there. What's he talking about? Snap, crackle, pop, snap, crackle, pop. Oh, you got to be pretty good at climbing though. If you want to kiss, you just, uh, you know, chalk up the old hands and head on up to the peak and get a little smooth stretch, do a little stretch before, you know, get those glutes and hammies warmed up and then fall

on up there. I guess you guys serious gal right now? Uh, no, not really. I just kind of I'm young 24 almost 25 So I'm still kind of you know messing around seeing what I like what I don't you know? Yeah good for you play in the field Yeah, exactly. You know you got to step back and see what kind of fish you like, you know, exactly Exactly. Yeah, you know, I'll be fishing for trout all your life when you know there's salmon. No. Sure. No. Or perch.

Yeah. Oh, perch. Oh, oh, I will tell you one thing. Ah, Oregon. We don't have pull tabs here, right? Never, never really messed with the pull tab life. Moved closer to Idaho. They got pull tabs. Severely disappointed. disappointed, severely disappointed.

Why I bought, I bought a stack dude thinking I'm going to, you know, hit big. I'm not a gambling man either. I bought like a good, good stat. Like it looks big in my hand. So he bought four pull tabs. I was calling it. I had two handfuls. Right. Eight pull tabs. The most satisfying thing from the pole tab was the crisp rip. Oh yeah. Of each tab, you know, but they're all, all losers. I might have to try my luck next paycheck. Yeah. I mean, let's refer, you said gambling. It's that gambling. It's investing. Let's remind you of that. And sometimes we win. We're FDIC complied to tell you that. At least you tell me. And it's, you're playing the long game. You know, you invest in the S and P 500. If you look at it after one day, you're not going to be very happy. So over

the year, this is a 30 year commitment. It's actually, if you put it on the graph, pull tab investing and the S and P 500 kind of mirror each other over, you know, extended period of time. And every seven years your money doubles due to compounding interest in the pull tab investing game. So it's a little tidbit I picked up along the way. And so remember that this is a marathon, not a sprint. I'm just glad we have the financial advice on this podcast too. Okay. Okay. So pull tabs investment, not a lost. No, not

at all. Never. All right. Good to know. I've seen, I've seen the one where he won 777. Oh yeah. That was a nice day. That was a good day. Cool. Yeah. I'm sure the bar was happy too. We tipped them. We tipped them good. Oh, that's good. You've got to keep your bartenders happy. That's, that's more important than pull tabs sometimes. Absolutely. Um, so you're a side for just having a long way to reach. You're fine with your job. Uh, yeah. I mean, no, it's a job. No one loves their job, but I mean, unless you have a really

cool job and you might love your job, but this is just, this is just mechanics. Nothing, nothing to really toot your own horn at. Well, but yeah, I guess, I guess I'll take that. I'll do my own horn. No, it's, it's a mechanic. So it's just, everything's really just kind of bullshit when you look at it. The newer, the newer the rigs, the city or the problems, the older the rigs, the messier the problems, you know? So that's just the nuts and bolts of the whole situation. You know? Yeah. Yeah. And screws and stupid clips that break that you gotta replace every time you pull them out of a hole.

Gosh darn it. Plastic tip. I don't know, have you ever, you ever messed with like those little plastic tab clippy things that hold your bumper down and all that stupid stuff? You got a fly head screwdriver on there? Those things suck. Yeah. I wanna know,

I wanna know the guy who invented those and stand on a stool and have an eye to eye conversation with him. You're talking about, you're talking about on the bumper, like that clip your bumper together. Is that what you're talking about? Well, yeah, like on the top or like you open your hood right by your radiator and he's like circle push tab things with all these like, like have barbs, I guess you could call them. They go in there and they hold them place.

And then when you want them out, you got to either break them or I don't know, spend 40 minutes per clip. It's called planned obsolescence right there. So you just got to buy more stuff at wholesale from the Jiffy loop. You know, those, I mean, I don't know why you're bitching if you're getting paid by the hour. I mean, that sounds like mechanics, wet dream. Oh, we get paid by the hour, but we got quotes. So we got a quota in me like jobs an hour and a half on paper. I take three hours. That's just,

okay. Well that's your guys's mistake. You got a bill after you do the work. Oh Man I wish it was that easy. Oh I was every single day be like our big guy is our big guy is out for the day So I could start working on it now. We can just get you the the price when you come in, you know It's well bar ballpark it when he gets back. Yeah. And then just start working on it and then just pay it. They'll have to pay whatever. That's how you just never increase your customer service people at the Jiffy loop because people are going to be coming in. Why am I giving them more ammo? What am I doing? Yeah, I don't

know. What's the most, what, what, what thing there do you guys overcharge for the most? Is it the air filters or the oil change? Oh God, probably the oil change. I'll be frank. What's that go? These mad hours. Uh, say again, what's it go for these days? No, I'll change. Oh, well for me, I, I get it at cost because I work there. But for folks like you, it's probably like 140 out the door. Yeah. Or just an oil change. And then if you want to top off your rear diff or if you got a transfer case or if anything

like that, that just honestly quickly adds up. Nicer the car, the more expensive the oil and you need a nicer filter for the nicer cars. So like Mercedes and stuff like that. You're looking at like two 50, two 60 up the door for just an oil change. So you school ways. Yeah. Yeah. I oil changes in that hard. You know, they're very simple. You just, you know, you got to do it and lay on your bag, reach up there and twist a couple of things. Twist a bag. It's really, really simple, man. That don't quite know why people pay us to do it. I, I got a maybe question that you don't have to answer. If you

don't like, I think I know where this is going. Is, is your worst nightmare? A guy that rolls up with a giant lifted truck. Oh, yeah. Yep. I, uh, I must admit my boss ain't much taller than me and we both each give each other a look like, yeah, this is going to be a, it's going to be a stool operation. Who's going on whose shoulders? Yeah. I put the trench coat on. I carried you. I carried you last time. You guys a little rascals that they're working on it. Bring me to the left. Left. Left. No, my left. He's standing backwards. I mean, they call it Jiffy Lube for a reason. Oh, oh, boy. All right, fellas.

My word. Hey, quick question. All right. So what could be going if the power steering goes out? Is that usually just a fluid refill or is that probably a leak in the So what could be going, if the power steering goes out, is that usually just a fluid refill or is that probably a leak in the fluid? Well, you'll see signs if it's a leak, it'll start squealing and whining if it's a leak. But if it just goes like from power steering to zilch, nada, kaput, flat. Yeah. That's probably bad. Power steering pump. I'd check your belts too at that point. Cause if you're, if your pump seized up,

you could have worn a thin spot in your bell or, you know, stuff like that. They don't usually seize. They just stopped pumping. Okay. What, what do you think the cost is on that? Just knowing that oh Man power steering pumps probably gonna run you about 120 part wise and then throw that in About probably an hour and a half to our job. We charge about 150 man hour So you're probably in it over over about 500 bucks. She definitely for sure got it Probably over over about 500 bucks. She has only for sure. Got it.

Rand it just I don't know how your guys is right. Are over there. What's your guys's minimum wage look like? What's our minimum wage look like? Yeah, yeah. Caught living and stuff out there. Well, we're in Fargo right now. So it's probably better than Oregon.

Oregon, you guys. I had her. Yeah, you guys are probably what is minimum wage in Oregon? Like 20 bucks. Now 11, 11, 75, 11, 75. I'm going to go with the That's crazy. That's like what it was when I was working. Still. That is nuts. I remember my first job, I was getting paid six an hour. Yeah. I was getting, I think, what year was that? Oh, probably like 2010, 2012. 2010. Yeah. Yeah. It hasn't gone up much. I think I started, it was like 525 an hour. Oh, wow. That's crazy. Well, yeah. Old, old, old timer. I didn't say old timer. Joe, I said older. Okay.

Oh, okay. Okay. You are more than a decade older than him. I'm almost a decade older than him. I'm almost a decade older than him. I'm almost a decade older than you are miles. Be careful about all the shit you talk about me. Cause in two years that's still be that much older than me. Well, you're going to be dealing with all the problems when we first met miles was like, you're 30 and now how old are you miles? 32 32? Yeah. Wow. I really put things into perspective. Huh? Miles? Yeah. Yeah. I got to step back and look at the bigger picture. You know,

it just turns out that the sun comes up every day and you get older. Just finding that out. Time flies like a banana. Oh, especially when you're having fun. Yeah. Well, we appreciate you calling us Jiffy lube Joe. Well, thank you very much miles. And it was a great to talk to you guys. Miles and Charlie and heck of a heck of a heck of a time. We'll have to catch up again someday. I'll let you know when the problems get worse at Jiffy lube. I just, I just started there like probably about a month ago. He made it sound like he's been a career guy there. 18 years old at the Lou. I've had like probably probably 15, 20 years plus of experience and about now 15. Let's be honest. Yeah. It's

twisting wrenches since like elementary school. So still my favorite way to talk about a mechanic, twisting wrenches. Well, it's a good, good term. I love it. Twisting wrenches and kissing babies. We need a term for that for podcasting. Twisting mic cords. Yeah, that's still in my cords. No, that doesn't have a ring to it. Mac and microphones could, could give the wrong vibe. Okay. You're doing the reverse cowgirl with your boss while you're fixing a lifted truck. So don't even, I never admitted to that. Come on. All right, man. Well, thanks for calling in. Have a good

night. You too, man. Thank you. We'll see you soon now. All right, sweet. Catch you later. Bye bye. Did I just get peer pressured into saying midget? Yeah, I think I did. Yeah. That you're really got away and sold that guy canceled. Did he say you can go ahead and say it use the hard M he said. Oh, I know. Is that when this comes out and Joe retweets it and his Twitter account, it's just him and he's a six, five stud and you're just done with your career. Then screwed. Yeah. But whatever. I had a good run. I'll go work concrete again. Yeah. Pouring slabs and kissing babies.

My own baby. That's it. That's it. Kissing a baby. It's probably better that way. Well, Charlie. Well, Miles, do we got a voicemail or a voicemail? Oh, it's still a voicemail or yeah, we can run a voicemail. Let's do a voicemail. Yeah. And I will raise you up on the eagle's wings. And I'm done. I got the voicemail, guys. Oh, sorry.

All right, guys, I have this great idea. My name is Gannon. I'm 20 years old. Amazing idea. Okay. So the Olympics, the construction Olympics. Okay. So just hear me out. Hear me out. Okay. One of the events are going to be shooting a nail gun at like soda can pop. I don't know how far, but something like that. All right. The one that can throw like a center block, the fur, this is stupid shit like that. Or we could have actual ones like first one to put up scaffolding or like how, how you can do it so fast. I don't know, but I think if you funny ass idea, that's great. I agree that I like the pentathlon with a nail gun would be like, we should do that

next winter. Get a nail gun attached to your back instead of a 22 on skis. Someone's behind with the compressor. Yeah. Well no, you have to carry a sled with the compressor. Yeah, that'd be great. We used to do actually we made up our own little game. So if you got a framers hammer, they have a little magnet on the top where you put the nail on the thing you can't reach. you stick it and then hammer it. We used to draw a circle on a panel. You put the nail on there and then you spin it kind of like throwing axes. Yeah. And then you gotta try and hit the, the nail will stick into the panel. Oh, and you try and get as close to the center as possible. My dad didn't love

it. You know, he was kind of like, that's a big waste of nails. Do you guys know how I was on the phone with my dad redoing this doc and my dad was telling me, cause I got pulled out the old panels, put out the other one. He left me this voicemail. That was like two minutes long and I would minute 30 was talking about how expensive each of the screws was. He said, now listen, those are good screws. It's about 75 cents a screw. So I said, well, I'm going to go with the old panels.

I'm going to go with the old panels. I'm going to go with the old panels. I'm going to go with the old panels. I'm going to go with the old panels. I'm going to go with the old panels. two minutes long. And I would minute 30 was talking about how expensive each of the screws was. He said, now listen, those are good screws. It's about 75 cents a screw. So if you look at that, that 75 cents times four per panel four, that's about 16 down. He was doing the math in the head and he was like, you add all that up. That's, that's about $500 in screws. So what I'm telling you is on scroll Meze, I don't need you breaking those things. And it was, he didn't even buy them. No, he was just like, I don't want to

have to replace them. These are the screws currently in the deal. And he wanted to make sure they did not get broke. He's like, you set your tort to the right, right amount. Cause I read online that these things can break. I'm not sure why they can break if they're 75 set, but he was just going on and on. I'm not sure why they can break if they're 75. But he was just going on and on. I just couldn't imagine being that worried about it. It was he brought it up for other times that he looked up that type of screw to find out.

Yeah, I think he talked to the guy and he said, what about the screws? And the guy told him how much the screws were and he kind of lost his mind a little bit. So he wanted to make sure. And I'll tell you this much, it worked. Guess how many screws I broke. I lost about five though. Switch is not good. That's not good. That's about three. You just went and replaced him. You didn't tell him, no, no, I went and bought a pack and they were expensive too. It were expensive. Yeah. I think you could mix real competitions with some of those competitions, right? Like

a great competition in the construction Olympics that you just said is you have to get very vague directions from the boss. And then you just have to try and figure out what he meant by it and build something. And then at the end, they're like, you either did it right or you didn't do it right. Oh, I liked that. Yeah. Yeah. So go to the job site. So you start at the shop, right? This is the competition. Yeah. All right. The job site is a South of Costco and that's all you get. So now you're just driving around somewhere South of somewhere South of Costco. And then when you get there, he's just like, I want you to put the, the, the do Hickey together and then finish the garage. And, uh, you know, we got, you know, mud coming

at in the afternoon. So look out for that. So it's just, you now have to get the project done with the limited direction and, uh, and you rate it on a scale of, all right. And what the fuck? I got to do everything around here. I thought I told you it was clear. You know, you get that you failed. But if you get a because because it's not going to be you did a good job. It's going to be well, took you long enough. Right.

I might get a good job. Next scene was raised. That's not going to happen. That's true. Well, you get an att job next scene one's raise That's not gonna happen. That's true What are you get an attaboy on a construction site? It would happen once in a while my dad come by He's like, oh, you know nice work and they'd leave and we'd all be like no fucking way you got an attaboy Damn it. How did how did your dad treat you on the construction site versus the rest of his employees? A lot of head shaking. Was he intentionally harder on you than his employees? Uh, I wouldn't say that. I think he was easier on you in terms of when I would show up. Yes. Oh, you were late. Yeah. I mean, well, so in the summer, sometimes we'd have like workouts in the morning.

So you'd show up after the workout. Oh, I got you. But the one time that he was not lenient on it, it was right before I would go back to school. We'd start fall camp for football. And so of course, this was our last hurrah before we'd have practice every single day. So during the week, it was like a Thursday, we would have party. We all got thoroughly intoxicated and I showed up to the job site at like 10 AM and he was in the hole with his tool belt on. Oh no, that's not a good sign. What did he say? He's just hovering over my shoulder the whole day, just, you know, critiquing my work, all of that stuff. And he was very, very mad.

Did you learn your lesson? No. What was your nickname again? Mills. Mills. Moose. Yeah. There's one guy that's how you'd say my name. Instead of saying miles, he was

going to go moose. Moose. Moose. Yeah, there's one guy that's how you'd say my name instead of saying miles. He was going to go miles. We got mills over here. So yeah, that'd be a good video. That's a video I'd say we should do. You certainly should do it. What is the title of the video? Construction worker Olympics. Oh, oh, I thought about my dad breathing over my shoulder. Oh no, that could be a fun video too. When the boss actually does work, that's actually the video idea.

Everyone's just on edge, you know? They're like, oh my God, what's happening? I can't, I don't like confrontation. Well Charlie, is that another good episode of the Bellied Up podcast? Go ahead and say great episode miles to. Yeah. Well, guys, thanks for tuning into another episode. And we got to shut out where we are. We're at CJ's Tavern here in Fargo, North Dakota.

They're on a golf course. So if you go hit the links, it's just the Rosebud golf course. That's a call Rose Creek. Well, close enough to public course in Fargo. So anyone just swing on through its balls, then come have a couple brews afterwards. Public course. This is where people like me play golf.

Oh, my God. I should. This is I knew this is where the peasants come, right, Miles? Right? The proletariat. Anyways, maybe I'll get an invite again to the bourgeois, but until that day. Tip your bartender, folks. Tip your bartender. Okay, hope you guys have a good one.

Goodbye now. Oodaloo.
